While presenting the garland, Jayashree said, "Thanks to the Congress government's free travel initiative, which you implemented as Chief Minister, I have been able to pursue my law studies without any financial strain. Therefore, I kept all the free tickets and made this garland. I have been waiting for months for an opportunity to present it to you. When I heard you were coming to Arasikere today, I ran here with the garland in one breath." She then expressed her gratitude and received blessings from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
